Ferguson council budget vote outcome pending; special business district board approves minutes
The only Ferguson government body with published decisions this past week was the Special Business District Advisory Board, which held a discussion-only meeting July 1. The City Council's June 23 meetings — including a scheduled vote on the FY2026–2027 budget — remain agenda-only, with minutes not yet published, so outcomes are not yet in the public record.
City Council — June 23
The City Council had two meetings scheduled June 23. The first included several consequential items on the agenda:
- Adoption of the FY2026–2027 budget (Resolution 2026-24)
- Adoption of a five-year Capital Improvement Program through FY2030-2031 (Resolution 2026-25)
- Authorization of an amendment to the contract for housing municipal inmates at the St. Louis County Justice Center (Resolution 2026-26)
- First reading of an ordinance to transfer city properties for development and beautification (Bill 7347)
- Second readings of ordinances fixing salaries for part-time parks employees (Bill 7345) and all city officers and employees (Bill 7346)
Because minutes have not been published, the vote tallies and whether each item passed are not available. Readers should check the official City Council minutes once posted for the recorded outcomes.
The second June 23 meeting was limited to a call to order, a vote to enter closed session under RSMO 610.021(3) for personnel matters, and adjournment. No public votes on ordinances, contracts, or other substantive items were scheduled. Minutes for this session are also not yet published.
Special Business District Advisory Board — July 1
The Ferguson Special Business District Advisory Board met July 1 in a discussion-only session. The board's only recorded action was a unanimous vote to approve minutes from its March 25, 2026 meeting.
Board members discussed the budget, website development, Juneteenth programming, and business engagement. No substantive decisions were made beyond the minutes approval.
Coming up
The Civilian Review Board meets today, July 6, to elect new FCRB officers. The agenda also includes a review of police panel attendance and hiring, the status of complaint reviews and use-of-force reviews, and discussion of a quarterly meeting with Chief Doyle scheduled for August 18, 2026.
Residents interested in police oversight may want to attend. The meeting agenda indicates officer elections and updates on complaint and use-of-force review processes are scheduled for discussion.
